Data centers fascinate me. I could watch a 100 part series on data center intricacies.

He keeps saying "The IT" like it's a physical, tangible object instead of a concept or idea. They couldn't have possibly used the words Server Room or Network Closet? I didn't really learn anything from this video.

How many Xeon cores are each blade server running? Is the overall memory for the building up to 1TB? What kind of virtualized environments were they running? If so, how many clients do each terminal server host? What is the memory/bandwidth load for average customer use?

Honestly, the most interesting part of this video was the 30-40sec demonstrating the security protocols in place.

I love these kinds of videos but I'd have liked it to be hosted by one of the Network Engineers, not some PR rep.

And in this corner is xHamster Research Center, mostly educational.

Very cool tour! The amount of raw computing power that come out of centers like these is staggering!

My dad worked at the phone company for a couple of decades. To get near the equipment, you had to be a well paid technician or a low paid member of the janitorial crew.

More of this please.

More details. Networking topologies, Storage configurations, data center layouts, why they make the layout decisions they make.

This doesn't have to be specific to this DC, but a general look at ground up DC decisions would be marvelous!

Keep up the good work Comphile!

Cool video, just needs a little more "IT"...

Anyone else not quite sure whether Kings College is doing any medical research in there?

Elliot Alderson laughs at your layers of security.

This guy doesn't strike me as an IT type of guy...

Such a shame that they had their "client director" talk rather than someone who actually knew what was going on. Sounded like a typical PR person. Not very impressed at how he explained the power systems or capability's, all I herd was IT IT IT and POWER we get it, it uses electricity.
